I can relate to both myself, at least to a major degree.

Definetly miss my younger bolder self in regards to RP, nowadays I can barely even get myself to respond to occasional walk ups Iâve had in the past 
Otherwise I miss when I was less jaded and the game was good, I miss my guildies the most and I miss the fun times Iâve had.
There are several folks Iâve lost touch with over several years on WoW that I hope are doing well, whether in or out of game!
Asides from that I miss feeling like the plot of the expansion is relevant to my character in a way? Back in WoTLK, and Cataclysm, I have very fond memories of doing IC runs of dungeons (I -think- the Frozen Halls being the most fun and involving the least amount of terrible wipes.) It felt a lot easier to flavour it then as âtag team of grunts acting within the larger Horde armyâ rather than âepic maw walkers who transcend the boundaries of life and death are saving the dayâ. I donât think thereâs anything wrong with the latter, itâs just less my cup of tea.

I miss the innocense of youth, not knowing of the vicious political games played between individuals and guilds in whatâs supposed to be something we do for fun.
Iâm still not over the manifactured falsehoods that had random people send me hatemail.

What led to this? 
Sorry to hear it happened to you.
Mostly I miss just having the free time to spend a whole night and early morning absorbed in RP with close friends. Any RP I can do now is all too brief and I am constantly checking the clock, which just really pulls me out of the experience.

Yeah I miss being a layabout with nearly no responsibilities and tons of free time.

I had a not insignificant role in a guild years back and apparently a rumour mill was started to ruin my reputation, giving several people the impression that I was ruining others OOC and a vicious powermonger, so my mailbox filled with accusations.
Iâve brought it up a few times before alongside the time another guildâs spy, because thatâs a healthy way to treat guild interactions, defected after seeing they were lied to about us being bad people.
This sort of nonsense makes me rather tired of server/guild politics in general, sceptical of rumours and adverse to ever pursue guild concepts on my own.

Iâve been away from WoW for a few months and I kinda miss RP already. But the idea of giving Blizz any money at this point just gives me an icky feelingâŚ

Had a negative interaction with someone in the early 2010âs, very early. We didnât really get on, ultimately there are just people who just donât like you and thatâs pretty whatever. But then in like 2018-19, whenever the PCU held their Drums of War server event. This person - who I hadnât interacted with in literal years - was slating my guild in the Alliance general chat; encouraging people to avoid us (despite it being in its infancy).
Some people just have an unhealthy investment in the game to be honest and the social interactions theyâve had.

Thatâs unfortunate. Some people sure do have hangups. At least I donât get this sort of hatemail anymore. The relevant character is long gone. I shouldâve reported it.

For sure. My first year/s of RP sucked, but what it did matter? I enjoyed it. The people I surrounded myself with loved it.
Now I am jaded and bitter.
Things I miss: the Wun dynasty. The Blood Tempest expat crew in the Frozen Paw, plus the friends we made in the Paw. Horde RP in general - I just canât get into it anymore, which is sad to think about as back in WoD and earlier I was ride or die Horde and couldnât see myself ever switching.

Iâm a little surprised the most Iâve ever had is âyouâre less horrible in game than on the forumsâ tbh.

I get that too and it sure is preferable to some long winded screed about how Iâm ruining lives.
I miss SL prepatch.
We didnât know what was going to happen, there was still excitement in our souls and we had new customisations and the game was more aliveâŚ
Now look at it.
I donât want to play WoW anymore, itâs just not fun right now.

I miss being in the same Timezone as the rest of the server.
Being 8 hours behind is tough, but the NA servers âstyleâ of RP just doesnât work for me.

Man, I miss playing on my Troll Druid most of all. Even though I have a special place in my heart for Dwarves and Forsaken, playing the flame-haired fool was the best time of all, and I would still be on that char if it werenât for stupidity on my own part.
Live and learn, but I remember those times with fondness still.
On the other hand its an achievement on its own to live rent free in somebodyâs head for +10 years lmaoo

I get shivers sometimes when I see snippets of whatever goes on WRA and MG.
